Something called 'Appnomix' just popped up on my phone offering some AI nonsense. How do I get rid of it? (slrpnk.net)

I'm using a Fairphone running Android 13 and I just got two different popups offering me some sort of AI assistant through something called 'Appnomix'.

I definitely did not install this on my phone and searches in Apps and Settings bring up nothing. Does anyone know where it came from and how to get rid of it?

EDIT: I worked out what it was! In case anyone else has the same issue, it was from a keyboard app called Typewise.

So, yeah. Uninstall Typewise.

Just a reminder to not use keyboards with network permissions... You are trusting it with everything you type into it, including passwords. Use a free open-source keyboard from f-droid.org.
